Chapter 104: Marriage

At the beginning, Xue Pan and Aunt Xue were naturally furious, but seeing that Xue Baochai was not in his mind and was thin, the two of them did not feel good in their hearts, so they sent someone to secretly investigate.

I have to say that the uncles of the Aixin Jueluo family are really well maintained, and they are all in their forties, but from the outside, they are only twenty-seven or eighteen, especially with excellent demeanor and extraordinary temperament, and the servants and maids around them are also delicate and beautiful, and their manners are very well-behaved. also put a lot of effort into renovation, and the cost before and after, how can there be three and a half million taels of silver.

Xue Pan took a look, although this person said that he didn't know the details, but I'm afraid he was not an ordinary person, even if there was a gap with the four major families, it was not too much worse if he didn't have a wife, and he was a talented person, and his sister would give it to him, it was not completely impossible.

Of course, at present, it is just like this, marriage matters, you can't be sloppy, how can you determine the identity and origin of the man before you can take the next step, so although Aunt Xue hesitated, it was not good to just leave her sister alone, and she didn't want to pay any more money for the time being, but she still coped with it, and she didn't move out of Jiafu in the end.

The Xue family is worried about marriage, what she is worried about is that there are too few targets to choose from, and the person she looks like is also like a dream flower, like a water moon, which can be seen, but it is out of reach.

On the Lin family's side, Zhiyun and Mrs. Lin also had a headache for Daiyu's relatives, but they had too many headaches.

In the past two years, many people have come to inquire about Sister Lin's relatives, even many royal relatives, dignitaries, and many of them are interested, which is not surprising.

With Daiyu's background, Miss Yan of the Lin family is the wife of a county prince, so there is no problem. In this era, it is not too easy to find a young lady with a noble status and good sex, and it is understandable that Sister Lin is in a good market.

Lin Ruhai asked for grace at the beginning, Sister Lin didn't need to be drafted, the marriage was decided by Mrs. Lin, a serious elder, after all, the Jia family was just a foreigner, Sister Lin's surname was Lin, even if Mother Jia was Daiyu's maternal grandmother, it was not her turn to take the idea of this matter, as a result, every time Mrs. Lin received those noble ladies in the past two years, she could always harvest a large group of young talents who were 'this is good, that is good, not a little bad'.

It rained again on this day, and Zhiyun and Mrs. Lin sat in the gazebo, enjoying the rain outside, fiddling with needles and threads in their hands at will, and gossiping in their mouths.

"Daiyu's marriage should also be considered, although the royal relatives come to ask for a lot, but I don't want Daiyu to marry into that kind of complicated family, she has been impatient with those people since she was a child, although it is a little better now, but into too complicated people, this generation is afraid that it will be sad and comfortable, it is best to pick a noble family for her, there are not too many messy things at home, and the family background of the Lin family is almost the same, the door is too high, we will not go high."

Mrs. Lin frowned and muttered.

Zhiyun heard this. Although she does not approve of early marriage, after all, it is not good for the health of a fifteen-year-old child to get married, but in this era, once it is delayed to eighteen, it is an old girl who cannot marry.

"Hey, it's a pity, the Fan family didn't get married, and there is no brother who is the same age as Daiyu, otherwise, it's not bad to let Daiyu and Zhaoyu be concubines."

Zhiyun listened to Mrs. Lin's emotion, and smiled: "Where is it so easy to find something like the Fan family...... You really don't like Zhou Changqing? I think that the child is good, and the most important thing is that although Daiyu and him have only met once, the impression of him is still good. ”

This week Changqing is the so-called 'nerd' who has had a relationship with Daiyu.

In fact, it's not appropriate to call people nerds, this is a new champion, not only good at reading, but also known as poetry and painting, and he is also a great figure among the famous young people in Beijing.

You know, in recent years, most of the top three characters in the Jing Dynasty have asked the people of the Floating City to give Bao Yuan'er, mainly from the Floating City, the cheating methods are too powerful, the memory potion or something needless to say, even if they go to the examination room, it is very easy to communicate with each other, and they all come with a purpose, unlike real people, they pay attention to their own reputation, and they will definitely not do some small actions, this gang is unscrupulous, and they are not people, and they are very purposeful, they are simply to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, If you want to break through their layers of encirclement and title the gold list, of course, luck and talent are indispensable.

It can be seen that Zhou Changqing is definitely not a so-called nerd.

Moreover, because his calligraphy and calligraphy are relatively rare, outsiders can't ask for it, and his calligraphy and paintings, saying that a thousand words are gold, are not completely exaggerated, and even today's saints like his calligraphy and paintings, which he is the champion, probably for this reason.

In terms of identity, although the Zhou family does not have a title, they have a very high status in the Qing Dynasty, and the serious scholarly family is similar to the Lin family, and the family is comparable, which is a good choice.

Mrs. Lin frowned, he couldn't find fault with Zhou Changqing, that person had all the talent to learn about appearance, and he was not a woman, and there was no concubine in the family, which made Mrs. Lin extremely satisfied.

It's just that the old man of the Zhou family has been seriously ill recently, and he is about to be unable to suppress the grandson below, that Zhou Changqing has two elder brothers, and his two elder brothers are also capable, but the two are not compatible, one supports the current emperor, and the other is very close to the third emperor, and it is almost to the point of intolerable water and fire at home, Zhou Changqing is the youngest, more than ten years younger than his two brothers, and he has nothing to do with his brother at all, the Zhou family is in chaos now, and it is really not a good choice to marry a 'daughter'.

Besides, the Zhou family is about to get involved in this kind of royal struggle for power, how can she rest assured that she will marry Daiyu, if something goes wrong, she doesn't know what will happen to her.

Zhiyun didn't care, she knew in her heart that it was impossible for the Zhou family to get involved in the competition of the next generation of emperors, because there would be no more next generation emperors in the Jing Dynasty. Since this is the case, as long as Zhou Changqing himself is good enough, Daiyu can marry him, even if it is not very good at first, at most it will be a few years, besides, you can also marry first, and then let Daiyu marry later.

"I think this week Changqing is the best choice, looking at his performance in the Hanlin Academy, he is calm and calm, and he doesn't look like an ambitious, talented and learned, Daiyu married in the past, and the couple will definitely be able to sing together."

Mrs. Lin nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "It's okay, think about it again, even if the Zhou family is troublesome, it is better than the Jia family, but Daiyu has always been filial...... That old lady in Jiafu is an old fox, fooling a little girl like Daiyu is really not much trouble, she is not easy to deal with. ”

You must know that the relationship between Daiyu and Jia's mother is closer than that of Mrs. Lin and Zhiyun, after all, she is Daiyu's maternal grandmother, and the blood relationship is maintained, and Jia's mother really loves her, even if she is not as good as Baoyu, it is not hypocritical, Daiyu is a girl who values affection, even if she makes up her mind to stay away from Jia's mansion and away from Baoyu, as long as she still has Jia's mother in her heart, then she can't break off this relationship with the Jia family. Maybe it can really bring a lot of trouble to Daiyu.

Mrs. Lin thought of Jiafu, she couldn't help but shudder, her good impression of Zhou Changqing suddenly rose a few points, and decided to check again, if the Zhou family really didn't have any 'bad habits', and he really had a heart for Daiyu, it was best to signal him to come to the door to ask for marriage, and first settle Daiyu's marriage, and then talk about it, it can't be delayed any longer, otherwise, after the concubine of Jiafu Province is provincial, I don't know what kind of trouble will happen to the Jia family, who is carried away by wealth.

Mrs. Lin is not eye-catching to Jia Baoyu, but he is the first one to be eliminated among Daiyu's husband candidates.

Zhou Mansion

Zhou Changqing didn't pay attention on the street that day and crashed into Daiyu's carriage, so he met Daiyu by chance, although it was just a glimpse, and even speaking, it was also separated by a thick car wall, but his heart, but because Daiyu was as crisp as a yellow warbler, his graceful and charming voice almost jumped out, if it wasn't for the gaffe, how could he show his appearance in front of the Lin family's young lady, and he fell three big heels in a row at a loss.

Thinking about it now, he was too clumsy at the time, Zhou Changqing was a little annoyed, he should have behaved well in front of the young lady, how could he be ugly?

Zhou Changqing was stunned at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, and even the scholars around him shouted at him, and it took a long time to react.

"Lord, what do you think, the old lady called you over."

Zhou Changqing was excited, and suddenly came to his senses, thinking that his two brothers had quarreled again today, he was worried, for fear that his father would be angry again, so he hurriedly tidied up his clothes and went to the master's courtyard.

In the room, there was only a dim lamp and candle, and the old lady was crooked on the kang, holding a cigarette gun in her hand, and was smoking one bite at a time. The old lady's concubine, a woman who is already in her forties, but still charming, is waiting on the side.

When Mrs. Zhou saw her come in, she hurriedly put down the cigarette gun in her hand and sent the people away, only then did she smile and beckon, calling Zhou Changqing to his eyes.

Zhou Changqing is the old man of Mrs. Zhou, and he is also the one he loves the most, so in front of his third son, the old man does not want to be a strict father of this era, but is very kind.
